A 49-year-old Keralite has been taken captive allegedly by a six member armed group at Sanaa in strife torn Yemen, according to information reaching the family.
Salman, from Malappuram, has been in Yemen with his wife and five children for the past seven years. His father Abdu Rehaman said Salman’s wife informed him that a rebel group carrying arms had stormed into their flat on March 24 and taken him and five others into custody.
The other captives have been released later, but there has been no information about Salman yet, he said. “We have sent e-mail complaints to CM Oommen Chandy and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, seeking urgent steps to bring back our son,” he said.
